She might be pop's pint sized princess but Kylie Minogue found fame acting, appearing as Charleene in Neighours.

Now the 48-year-old beauty has returned to her roots, and her home-country, to shoot her latest film Flammable Children in Australia.

Kylie was pictured in character as she shot scenes on a beach in Queensland, but thanks to her costume the singer looked almost unrecognisable from the star we know and love.

The beauty wore a slick blonde bobbed wig and a pair of sunglasses, along with a vintage crochet swimsuit for the scenes.

And while the play looks back at the past, a familiar face from Kylie's own history popped up, with her former Neighbours co-star Guy Pearce, who also appears in the film.

The film will also star Asher Keddie as well as Kylie's former brother-in-law Julian McMahon - who was married to Dannii Minogue in 1994 -1995. It is directed by Priscilla Queen of The Dessert's Stephan Elliot.

The film is set in 1975 in the Northern Beaches suburb of Dee Why, NWS and revolves around two teenagers and their parents.
